Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas puts mansion on the market for huge seven-figure sum

Former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas and his fiancé Lucy Mecklenburgh have put their Cheshire mansion on the market for a seven-figure sum, five years after they bought it.

The actor and The Only Way is Essex star duo purchased the Edwardian property for £675,000 in 2021, but are now looking to sell it for £1.25 million, almost twice the price of what they paid for it. In the time they've had the property, they've installed a gym and sound studio.

The Daily Mail states that Thomas' name is the only one on the deed, and that the sale of the property would be a big financial boon for the actor, who was declared bankrupt in 2013.

The actor played Jason Grimshaw on the ITV soap for 16 years, and was on a salary of £100,000 a year.

"I had money from a very young age – and for a 16-year-old I had a hell of a lot of money," he said back in 2024. "So, I did have a credit card growing up and it caused me a few problems."

"I don't regret any of the things that happened to me because I actually feel like they've been a real blessing," he added. "I've learnt so much and I don't think to myself, 'Oh, I did this, I did that,' because I'm the sort of guy who takes a day at a time anyway.

"I don't really think about too much into the future and during that time I was earning anyway, so it wasn't like I was jobless. I just lost everything and started again."

Earlier this year, Thomas opened up about being diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) after his other half encouraged him to seek a diagnosis.

"I was like, 'okay, what am I going to lose here by being like, you know, assessed by a doctor to see if I have it that a medication that might really like help my everyday life'," he said.

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
